While I never got around to actually seeing Horrible Bosses, the sequel, Horrible Bosses 2, makes me want to get around to actually doing so. Warner Bros has released the teaser trailer for the film, which is actually quite funny. The the first film saw Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis plotting to kill their respective bosses only managing to actually kill one, and send another off to jail. However, for fans who did see the first Horrible Bosses, they will instantly recognize who made it out of their assassination scheme alive. Hit the jump to see the first trailer.
Bateman, Day, and Sudeikis’ characters are now entrepreneurs, but when a slick investor (Christoph Waltz) takes the company away from them, the three are forced to do what they do best: get in over their heads by committing a crime they cannot pull off. The three will attempt to kidnap the investor’s son (Chris Pine) in hopes of regaining control of the company.
The teaser certainly lives up to its name as it doesn’t really push the envelope comedically. Altough we get to see Jennifer Aniston try to engage Bateman into come very kinky and very dirty sex acts.
Here’s the official plot synopsis:
Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick (Bateman), Dale (Day) and Kurt (Sudeikis) decide to become their own bosses by launching their own business in “Horrible Bosses 2.” But a slick investor soon pulls the rug out from under them. Outplayed and desperate, and with no legal recourse, the three would-be entrepreneurs hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor’s adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company.
Directed by Sean Anders, Horrible Bosses 2 also stars Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey. It opens in theaters on November 26, 2014.
